Sunburns

I told you.

You guys want to hear a story about basal cell carcinoma?  It's really gross.

I do

Ok, I thought you'd never ask.  So this Canadian friend of mine is currently treating a person who bumped their head hard enough to knock them out.  As a result this person had a fleshy wound on top of their head... and it didn't go away... for ten years.  This person just put gauze on it and covered it up with a ball cap for ten years. 

Slowly it grew and by the time my Canadian friend was aloud to check it out the fleshy wound pretty much covered half this person's head.  It had eroded the scalp and bone.  This person's brain is exposed like just hanging out of their head. You could see it pulsing with every beat of the heart. 

After a quick test they found out basal cell was the culprit.  They could have saved their self some embarrassment, tons of  money and headaches if they would have just gotten some treatment early on.  It took 8 hrs of surgery, some govment plastic, and a huge skin graft from their lower back to fix it.

Wow.. glad I only waited 2 years to get mine looked at.

You should see if you can get one of those things the players wear on their heads, I bet they do a good job of keeping the sun off your head.

Caps have been known to do this. That said, beware of the temptation to turn a cap backwards. Although I often wear caps backwards, backwards in a scorching sun can result in a forehead half-burn. Very unfashionable if the cap is not properly adjusted.

Thx, Wackycat. The scar makes me look like a badass.

I think sunburns might be the universe punishing white people for slavery and being assholes. Like, you can go ahead and run the whole world I guess, but the tradeoff is if you're in direct sunlight for half an hour your skin starts to cook and you might get cancer.

man I got a great base on Sunday. Now I can begin the bronzing process.

I've got some awesomely bad tank top tan lines going on from my earlier trips to #boozecat games.
